Our team of doctors specializes in caring for people with all types of cancer, and includes doctors who do chemotherapy, cancer surgery, radiation therapy, and pain control. Some of our doctors also study cancer, always looking for even better ways to take care of people with cancer. Many of these treatments of the future are available to patients now as clinical trials.
We also know that people with cancer need care that is more than just medical; they need care that is personal too. Our specially trained nurses are gentle and kind. Our Clinical Director, Dr. Stefan Balan, won an American Cancer Society award for his "caring, down-to-earth approach." We also have a Patient Navigator on staff. She meets with patients, their families, and the people taking care of the patient at home to make sure all your questions get answered.
We also offer many support groups and classes to help you through your treatment and afterward. We even give out free wigs during our wig bank two or three times a month.
Norris Cotton Cancer Center is one of only 40 cancer centers in the country to have earned the Comprehensive Cancer Center designation from the National Cancer Institute. As part of the Norris Cotton Cancer Center system, our Cancer Center offers you the best care possible close to home.
Feel free to drop in or call us to get started with your care.

For Dr. Sujal Shah, Hurricane Katrina has a profound connection to his cancer practice
When the first evacuation call came, Sujal Shah did what most doctors would do—he remained in the hospital with patients who were left behind. Outside, Hurricane Katrina pounded New Orleans.
"I learned how fragile the human psyche really is," he says, talking about his remarkable Katrina experience and how it has shaped him both personally and professionally. "We take for granted how secure and safe we are, but when that's taken away, people fall apart. Everything falls apart."
